The people in US normally make pumpkin pie during thankgiving day or make decoration for Halloween.

I live in US but I'm from Indonesia, so Indonesian people normally cook the pumpkin with brown sugar for dessert. If make them this thankgiving I'll share the picture of pumpkin pie and the dessert from Indonesia with you.

I think Fia has said everything about the use of pumpkins. I'm giving you more pictures about them so you can visualize them more clearly. By the way, we called the carved pumpkins as Jack O'Lantern.
And if you wanna try them yourself, you can visit here or any website on the net. It's really fun. I think you should try it sometimes.

Pod,
I've never made pumpkin pies myself so I don't know the special ingredients and methods to make them, but this is the website I usually go to when I wanna make American food.
http://meals.com/Recipes/RecipeSearchResults.aspxThere are several ways to make one and you can choose whatever you feel like making. I think the first one is the traditional one. Again, I think. http://meals.com/Recipes/RecipeDetails. ... peID=18470By the way, you don't have to follow exactly the same brand. You can substitute it to the most similar one. Have fun with the recipes.

Pirate, I didn't know the answer myself so I went to wikipedia to check it out. Thanks for your interesting comment, by the way. I'd heard about it every Halloween and stuff but never really cared to pay attention of where the word was originally from. Anyway, if you wanna know more about it, this is the link you can check it out,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack-o%27-lanternThis is a part of it for anyone who can't see the link,
"The practice of carving jack-o'-lantern goes back to the Irish legend of Jack, a lazy but shrewd farmer who tricked the Devil into a tree, then refused to let the Devil down unless the Devil agreed to never let Jack into Hell. The Devil agreed. When Jack died, he was too sinful to be allowed into Heaven, but the Devil wouldn't let him into Hell. So, Jack carved out one of his turnips, put a candle inside it, and began endlessly wandering the Earth for a resting place. He was known as Jack of the Lantern, or Jack-O'-Lantern." (copied from wikipedia.com)
And this is the link about Halloween if anyone is interested in knowing more about it,
